Last Man Standing after winning it's time slot every Friday night over at ABC. Moves to FOX after it's cancellation in 2016. LMS continues to win the same time slot and to grow despite a few changes in the cast. Season 7 episode 2 was a masterpiece in sitcom writing and acting. Tim Allen provides a Mike Baxter that is not a cardboard cutout. But rather a man of layers and contradictions... You know human. Never was this more noticable than with his imaginary conversation with his dead father, Bud. Choosing not to settle for the pat "I Love you" and a sappy happy conclusion, LMS chooses the ending that's more heartbreaking. When informed by the vision of his father that he too "had never told him that he loved him." Mike says "I was going to." That's perfectly imperfect...human. Sure the final act when Goodwill comes to pick up Bud's stuff we're reintroduced to our favorite TV family in their familiar form. Last Man Standing didn't just move networks to phone in paper think TV tales instead they gave us depth rarely achieved in a scant 21 minutes. Leading to the conclusion of...Yes it is "Way better on this Network."
